Banoffee Pies Beats 02 vinyl

Given the quality of Banoffee Pies' first Beats compilation, hopes are naturally high for this follow-up. We're happy to report that this is another doozy; a solid gold collection of smoky, emotion rich grooves, jazzy workouts and freshly baked instrumental hip-hop jams. Highlights come thick and fast. On the A-side alone you'll find the DJ Cam style trip-hop warmth of Slim's "Sunday", the Dilla-ish dustiness of RODN3Y's "Growing" and the simmering, softly spun soul of Slim's "Time Will Let Us Go". The pleasingly stoned looseness continues on the flip, with the two contributions from A Beat Maker Named Crate Head being particularly impressive (and, we should add, delightfully horizontal in tone).
